In this Thesis Tutorial I show you how to add a Facebook Social Plugin for the “Fan Page Like Box” to your WordPress blog or website if you are using the Thesis Theme for that WordPress blog. You SHOULD be using the Thesis Theme to follow this Thesis Video Tutorial. If you are NOT using the Thesis Theme then I have created a separate WordPress Video Tutorial for you here! This is a really cool plugin that will allow people visiting your WordPress blog or website to click the LIKE button for your Facebook Fan Page and see the pics of all the other people who have already LIKED your Facebook Fan Page which gives your Fan Page the Social Proof it needs to get more followers! That makes it easier for your Facebook Fan Page to have so much more exposure, credibility and visibility. You can find all the details for this Facebook Social Plugin here in written form. However, my Thesis video tutorial shares some great information with you and makes adding the Facebook LIKE Box so much easier than reading the text.
Get your Facebook Application ID first!
Before you install this plugin, however, you need to create a Facebook Application or Facebook App and get an App ID. It’s sounds complicated but it’s really very simple and easy to do. I have created a short video that shows you step-by-step how to create a Facebook Application and get an App ID here. Once you create that Facebook Application and get that App ID you can come back here and watch this video to complete the steps. It’s all so much easier than it sounds and my videos make it all very easy to follow. Enjoy!

Importance of social media like Facebook and twitter is growing exponentially. For instance if you haven’t started using these networks it’s the latest time to do so. back in the days social media accounted for 5-10 percent of my website traffic but now this number has grown to 35-45% and still shows growth.
Thanks Jim for the tutorial!

Thanks, Nile!
Can you please guide me, how to add facebook comment box in blogspot blog? Very informative blog, I subscribed your blog for more important updates from you. Thanks for the wonderful post.
I am sorry, I only work with WordPress. You’ll have to search in Google. Good luck!
Thesis themes are priced heavily because you can get quality support and even free updates to the Thesis Framework which will continue to evolve.
I’ve used Thesis at my blog too, but for me the Woo Framework suited me more. Now I use the Woo Framework from woothemes, and an attractive theme for it.

Hi Jim, Facebook is becoming more and more a part of my online life these days! I have about 500 likes on my page now, but adding this to the sidebar could take it over 1,000 pretty quickly. Thank you!
